Wow - that has to be really frustrating. The first thing I would do is change EVERYTHING back to your factory "as built" data. Even things you might have changed that were unrelated to the paddle shifters. Hopefully you made a "back up" copy of your "as built" data before you made ANY...
The simple answer - keep your windshield, especially in front of the rain sensor, VERY clean, and, keep your wipers clean and fresh (wipe them with alcohol or other oil free cleaner) The IR and sensor detects water / moisture in front of the sensor which triggers the wipers. Moisture left on...
Well congrats on taking the "plunge" and popping off the airbag to check your wiring. I look forward to hearing about whether or not the base GT wheel gives you paddle shifters. Adding the paddles was the first mod I made to my 2026 EB after purchase. You will not regret the result.
This is...
I tend to agree with you, as I swapped a DH wheel in my Ecoboost, but my EB had all of the left had premium functions and heat, so no switch changes were necessary. But, the fact that the OP's paddles don't work, after swapping the left hand switches -IF they were done correctly (the OP paid to...
Did you read this thread from the beginning?? There is no dispute that a DH wheel will retrofit to an Ecoboost ... perhaps you can explain how you got your DH wheel (w/ adapt cruise and heat) to work on a BASE model Ecoboost without those features ... unless you also had those premium...
Well ... you have a new DH wheel, your life is saved and your paddles don't work .... You have watched an install video that references TWICE that a DH wheel "might" not work on your base Ecoboost, but, their install of a GT wheel DID. IF, you still, really want paddles and follow their...
..... At aprox the 13:00 sec mark in the video, he references the fact that the internal connectors might not be the same between the DH wheel and your base wheel because of the left side switch differences ......
It's possibe that whoever swapped your wheels did not make all of the...
You are at a big disadvantage in trouboleshooting your problem, by not being able or willing to do the mechanical exchange of the steering wheel. It took me longer to do the Forscan changes than to swap wheels. Anyway, you probably watched the following video, and if so, at aprox the 6:50...
Unless you have been on a different planet for the past 4 decades, that's just not the world we live in today. Lest you forget your days on the force, you didn't make the laws, you were hired to enforce them. You didn't get to pick and choose which laws to enforce. When that becomes an issue...
After 20 years in county law enforcement, the changes in law enforcement have been profound over the last decade. There are few professions that compare. Regardless of your opinion of law enforcement officers, they reflect a cross section of our social consciousness, which vary by geographic...
Not sure about Houston, but, our county law enforcement ALWAYS have a reason for a traffic stop. Every patrol car is equipped with dash cams and every officer with body cams, activated before ANY interaction with a citizen. All footage is archived for a decade. If the result of a traffic stop...

I made the listed changes before changing the steering wheel, and the paddles worked (plug n play) immediately. Also gear display worked. It sounds like your paddles DO...
You are absolutely right and I agree ........ Unfortuneately, the OP did provide the cop with probable cause ....... AND, that often results in catching "bad guys".
Probable cause stops, even as sketchy as yours, take more drug dealers / users, under the influence drivers, bad guys with warrants, revoked, uninsured, licenseless drivers etc ... off the streets, than any other law enforcement action. FWIW

Apparently, "all" Ford dealerships are NOT "sharks" or "nasty" to deal with....... :sunglasses: But then, maybe it's because they haven't met you yet .........
I suspect it's possible through Forscan, as I was able to edit (remove) data / display info from my center screen. Beyond my pay grade, but if one of the Forscan "brainiacs" would happen to stumble upon this thread, they might be able to waltz you through the program changes, and it would be...

I agree - right after buying my Mustang, I installed a "small", pricey, and highly recommended dash cam. One afternoon walking to my car, a fellow looking at the car asked me "what dash cam is that?" That was the first time I "really" noticed how obvious it was through the windshield. I...
I have owned various convertibles for three decades, and during that time, NOT one incident of malicious damage to the top. Having said that, I live in a rural community and my convertibles have never been daily drivers. But, they do get driven - a lot - from spring thru fall, all over the...
